The Magic Jelly Shop & Giveaway!

My #1 artist, illustrator and designer idol has long been Karena Colquhoun, also known as Magic Jelly. Yes, you read that right, number one. So to find out that the long awaited Magic Jelly shop is finally open (and she wants to share her goods on my blog with my readers), I’m not only excited to promote the grand opening, but equally excited to just have her beautiful work featured on my blog!I think one peek at the shop or the Magic Jelly blog and you’ll understand why I am so enamored with it all. Karena, an artist and illustrator living in Semaphore, South Australia, has talent beyond measure. And those of us who have followed her work and blog for any length of time are now dancing around like goofballs singing and chanting: The Magic Jelly Shop is OPEN! The Magic Jelly Shop is OPEN!

I adore Magic Jelly collages and prints. I encourage you to spend some time digging through her blog for photos of them. The Magic Jelly shop is now stocking two of her original pieces from the Magic Circles series.You can purchase beautiful jewellery featuring Magic Jelly art and design.

I am absolutely enamored by all these wonderful Magic Jelly Shop items! Thanks so much for introducing them to me! I adore the Memory Land mirror and coaster – I do love me some hexie shapes! But that budgie pendant could be worn constantly! Magic Jelly LOVE!

Thank you, Cathe, for introducing us to Karena’s Magic Jelly website. The colors and nostalgic designs she uses really appeal to me. I like all of the items, but the Blue Budgie Oval Pendant reminds me of my parakeet that I have had for many years. Thanks again.

It is very difficult to choose … Each item is so nice and fresh.
The one I prefer is the Original Collage Magic Circles because evrything is possible.
Thank you to let your readers participate to this beautiful giveway.

Love the Memoryland No 2 Button Badge Set as I remember from my childhood all the items:
The budgie that our neighbor lady talked to all the time,
The camera that you looked down to see the image to take a photo,
The soda from the shop where I worked,
And the tiny horseshoe magnet which might have been a Cracker Jack prize

YAY congrats on the new shop! LOVE Magic Jelly! Karena is such a talent! I was in awe when I stumbled upon her work, her website is gorgeous, the letterpress paper design is amazing. Queen of nostalgic design 🙂
Thanks so much for the giveaway! My heart goes to the Blue Budgie pendant I just love colour and obsessed with anything yellow!

Oh, my favorite was the Blue Budgie Oval Pendant. I had at least 4 or 5 blue budgies over the course of my childhood. They always seemed to fly away out a door left open. I sure hope I win a pendant. I would love to have one.

Firstly, thanks for letting me know about a great Aussie artist, love her work. My favourite item on The Magic Jelly Shop would be bracelet number 2, love it. But then again I loved the Magic girl mirror as well, and then of course there were the coasters.

I love her designs so much, and her whole blog is so creative and fun to read. My favorite items are the budgie pendant (above) and the magic circles bracelets. I love the vintage quality to her work, while still feeling current with an attitude all of its own.

Magic Jelly, wow, unique! I think my fav items are anything with the cat on them – love the cats! But all the things kind of remind me of the era in which I grew up (kinda tells you how old I am!) VERY COOL!!

Oh how I love this shop! Thanks Cathe!
The yellow Blue Budgie Oval Pendant would be my choice (mostly because I can wear it to show it off) and I love bright colored accessories.
The Memoryland No. 2 Pocket Mirror would be a perfect companion for my purse, all the compacts would be affordable stocking stuffers for my 4 sisters! 😉
So many choices…
Good luck with your new store!

So many wonderful items on Magic Jelly—the name is a favorite of mine.
I do like the Circle Collages Original Art. The Memoryland 1,2,and 3 imagery is so great….coaster are fun.
Good luck with the new business, Karena.
Thanks for a giveaway.

Such cute items and I just have to fall in love with the parkeet necklace. I love birds and found I am allergic to feathers. Had to give them up. Had a parakeet and he was our baby. Wonderful items and packaing is great.

Jeepers! My worlds just collided! My two MOST Fave Bloggers/Artists/Inspiring Crafty Creators are ALREADY connected. *slaps head* But OF COURSE! They are BOTH brilliant and Vintagely, Paperly, Retro-fantistiquely, Bookedly enlightened. And I seriously can’t remember if I already knew this or I’m suffering creative dementia. Either way, I’m pleased as petal-pie to know of this very special connection. I adore all of the carefully considered, delightful fancies in the Magic Jelly Shop. I ESPECIALLY feel love for the collages and their inspired offspring – the Magic Circle Bracelets! Do pardon the super-long comment, but I’m really, really excited.

Oh my! I love that the Magic Jelly artwork is so unique. I applaud you for getting your artwork out there for all of us to enjoy. Thankyou! I had a blue budgie when I was young, that I absolutely loved, so hands down the oval pendant (and the darling box it’s in!) is my favorite. Thankyou for sharing what you do. Keep it coming!

The little budgie necklace is actually my favorite because it reminds me of all the birds I’ve had. The prints are fabulous, and her packaging is so cute. I think I could make a Christmas list from her shop!

I think you are so talented..oh my goodness! I also think it is such a generous give away. I love the blue budgie pendant. I had one for many years and i named him bow bow..wow..how wonderful.

How lovely! I’m also a big fan of Karena’s work. I think everything in her shop is lovely, but I am particularly fond of her jewelry and badge pins. I also agree that the Memory Land series is great. The jello mold badges are so awesome, too!

Just back from visiting the Magic Jelly shop and blog. I love the Memoryland button badges — definitely take me back to my childhood. Thanks for the chance to win those incredibly cute jelly button badges.

i can DEFINITELY see why you’re enamored! goodness, everything is sooo adorable. i’m not sure what to say is my favourite – but i’m partial to the retro food images. i think the magnets would look awesome on the fridge!

Oh how delightful! I am a follower of The Magic Jelly Shop and/or blog site. She has such wonderful artistic delights. Would be honored to win or own any of her great items. Thanks for the opportunity.

Wow this is a hard! One my favourite item from the very talented Karena’s Magic Jelly creations would have to be Magic Jellies Magnet Set because she design them prints press and package each magnet herself. All designs are unique, original and handmade in South Australia. I bought a set from Karena back in 2009 and I still have the envelope they came in the detail made my heart skip I a beat! The printed card the magnets are placed on has a hidden fortune cookie message. Thank you Karena for being so talented!!!

wow- all of her things are wonderful* you are right! I love the print of the little red shoes!
{She should be designing a line of fabric for the quilt market!!!- as should you Cathe} Thanks for giving me this link- I see some perfect Christmas Presents there!

Exploring the Magic Jelly website was awesome. Not only does she have great products (Black Mask drink coaster, Death’s Head Moth pendant, Jelly the Cat, etc.) but I also discovered her sister’s website ‘Tack-O-Rama’ which has great fonts and clip art. What talent these two sisters have. Thanks for introducing Jelly to use.

what a great website! I love the vintage look and the cut out of the ring to sign up for the newsletter. Very reminiscent of vintage comic books. Great site and great products, have added it to my favorites tool bar.

Oh, wow, I’m so glad I stopped by here this morning! I usually visit on a weekend evening, so I would have missed this opportunity to enter the giveaway.

I love, love, love the Magic Jelly Shop! At this moment I’m taking a break from working on my new craft studio, which is being done up in a 1930s/40s style – in the same pink and green as the Memoryland No. 2 set! Anything from there would look perfect in my studio! (Which, by the way, will be my first very own room that I don’t have to share with anyone in all my 55 years!) The Magic Jellies coasters would look great in my kitchen, and I think I’m in love with Jelly the Cat!

I already have the website bookmarked, and you can be sure I’ll be visiting and purchasing often! thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Easy to see why you’re so smitten with her style! It’s all wonderful, but the Folk Like Us bracelet and the Favorite Shoes gocco print really caught my eye. Thank you for the introduction (and thanks to both of you for the giveaway).

What beautiful graphics! Love the color choices too. It was difficult to pick a favorite, so I have two :o) I really like the Magic circle bracelets and the Magic circle collages (all of them) OK, three favorites…I also really like the canary pendant, I think it is sooo cute! I’d love to be picked as one of the winners! Thanks for introducing me to Karena and her products.
